Did you know the 10 highest poverty rates in the state are in Southeast Missouri?
Living in poverty is a daily struggle filled with stress. Through intriguing puzzles and challenging games, our portable escape room experience will give your team a better understanding of the causes of poverty and the many organizations funded by UWSEMO working to address it.
A young boy’s backpack contains the diary of a single mother who faces a daily challenge. Clues within the “Escape from Poverty Pack” provide solutions right here in our community. The puzzles include locks with hidden keys, a hieroglyphics wheel, and other intriguing brain teasers.
Every $150 raised allows us to build and bring a pack to your event or workplace. We will bring information about resources and guide your team through meaningful discussion upon their successful escape. This is a thoughtful and fun teambuilding exercise that leads to learning, understanding, and hopefully, action you can take to make a difference. Each pack is designed for up to 10 participants.
